In recent years, large-scale urbanisation has been on the rise, with cities being the hubs for growth, but rural business continues to play an important role in any country's overall development. A recent report reveals that almost 69% of India's population resides in their villages, accounting for almost 50% of the nation's GDP. This agricultural region varies from small towns with less than 500 residents to small towns. There are also similar situations in western nations. Despite their economic contribution, smaller villages seem to earn less in terms of infrastructural expenditure. The major problems addressed in these small towns include a shortage of adequate public transit, emergency care, and limited knowledge of federal subsidies for rural areas. Our vision is to expand the smart city to the smart village by allowing the use of recent technical advances and giving more attention to the problems in rural areas. This chapter aims to bring IoT technology to Villages by literally showing a network of linked sensors and knowledge dissemination devices, controlling energy use, and ensuring infrastructure protection. It gives a wide-ranging vision of enhancing the standard of living in villages and encourages them to meet the essential needs of domestic villagers.
